Icelandic horses have a friendly nature and are relaxed and easy to handle. On all our horses you can enjoy the special gait called “tölt”, which is unique to Icelandic horses. It is a four-beat gait about as fast as trot, but much more comfortable to ride.

Icelandic horses have been pure-bred on Iceland for over 800 years and have been a major means of transport in Iceland before modern transportation.

They are now well known all over Europe and in many other countries and are treasured as the perfect horse for the whole family. They are very suitable for trekking and endurance riding, but are also shown in dressage and of course in gait competitions. Icelandic Horses are ideal for adult riders wishing for a safe but fun way to get back into leisure riding.

In New Zealand, Icelandic horses are still quite a rare sight. They are bred on the South and North Island since the late 90’s and numbers are slowly increasing. If you want to experience what those little strong horses are all about you are at the right place.

Having fun on horseback is what we are about, trying a new and rare breed of horse is an adventure on its own, take a look at our Trek Options and book a ride today.
